The summer months are over. The hot weather is behind us. It is a great time to spend some much-needed time outside. I did that the other day and decided to take a walk around Medi Park.

I have always been envious of anyone that can draw. Anyone who has any artistic ability I am in awe of. I have no creativity and my hands just don't work like that. I took an art class in both seventh and eighth grade and it pained me.

New Year, new you for 2022. Yes, that is about as overused as anything else these days. If you are though, seriously, looking to improve your fitness here in the new year it really doesn't have to cost you a lot.

I get it we don't really care for the creepy crawlers. I know I sure don't. I won't run and shriek at the sight of most bugs. I will be the one that gets rid of the spiders for everyone else. Now that is not to say I am their biggest fans at all.

Everything is pumpkin this time of year. Starbucks has their Pumpkin Latte's. Clean Juice has their pumpkin spices latte and The Pumpkin One smoothie. Oh and don't forget Pumpkin Pie Blizzards at Dairy Queen. That is to just name a few.

An important lesson in life that I learned was how to fish. It taught me a few things. You know the important things in life like how to provide food when needed. How to be patient. I mean it does take awhile. Knowing how to hook a worm and even clean a fish is important too.

Before we let the month of June fade away there is another opportunity to get out of the house and enjoy some much needed fun in your life. I know the weather has been a bit toasty here in the Texas Panhandle but that is ok they are prepared for this.

When I go out to dinner with family or friends I tend to order an ice cold beer. Especially in these hot summer months a beer goes down so smooth. I usually stick to a Michelob Ultra because of the calories.

As things are starting to open up here in Amarillo it can only mean good things. There are starting to be a lot more to do. The Discovery Center is one of those places that want to provide a fun night for your family.

We have all been there. We start off with huge goals. Whether it is in the beginning of the year with New Years Resolutions or it's the beginning of a weight loss challenge. We start off so great and then as the time goes on we lose hope and we lose focus.

I know that going for a walk with your dog is by far a healthy thing for you to do for yourself; but it is also great for your dog. You both get to go outside in the environment. You both get some much needed exercise.

So some weeks are just worse than others. Some days we can deal with the stress and sometimes we just need to walk away a bit and recharge. It is always good to deal with stress head on. I mean you don't want to bottle it up because at some point you will just explode. Nobody needs that.
